PLN: Zloty On Back Foot, EUR/PLN Moves Away From Support Around 4.25
PLN
EUR/PLN sold off sharply through support from Aug 16 low of 4.2614 yesterday but losses were contained just above the 4.25 mark. The pair corrected the move this morning as sentiment turned slightly more cautious, while some participants may have decided to take profit in the vicinity of a psychologically significant support zone. Bears need a clean break below 4.25 (and earlier cyclical lows of 4.2471) to gain a fresh impetus. Bulls look for a rebound towards Aug 28/Sep 12 highs of 4.3039/43.
- The government's efforts to contain and repair the damage from recent floods continue to draw attention. Parliament will debate the government's initial response later today, while the cabinet will hold an extra meeting this weekend to decide whether there is a need to amend the budget.
- POLGBs have gently softened, with the curve running marginally flatter. The Finance Ministry holds a bond auction today, offering to sell PLN6bn-10bn of OK0127, PS0729, WZ0330, DS0432, DS1034 and IZ0836 bonds.
- The WIG20 Index is slightly weaker on the session, struggling to pierce resistance around the 2,350 figure.
